大学英语B模拟六及参考答案
大学英语B模拟六Part I: Reading Comprehension(40 points)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1It is reported that 6. 5 million Americans jog for exercise. The popularity of jogging has been heightened by medical claims of the benefits derived from regular participation in this activity. Regular jogging is credited with promoting a “training effect” which conditions the heart to do more work with less effort; increasing the efficiency of the respiratory (呼吸) system by strengthening the muscles that assist breathing; increasing blood volume in the body, thereby increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the circulatory system; promoting blood vessel flexibility; aiding the digestive system; and helping to maintain proper body weight through the high calorie expenditure. It is reasonable to assume that the number of adult joggers will increase if this activity is properly taught and encouraged through school physical education programs. Children should be taught how to jog as well as to understand the benefits. It is recommended that motivational programs such as the National Varsity Club Sport Award be utilized to provide added incentive (刺激) for school jogging programs. In addition to learning the physiological effects of training noted above, students should be given the following information as guidelines for their personal jogging programs.When jogging, run in an upright position, avoi ding the tendency to lean. Don’t look at your feet. Hold arms slightly away from body, with elbows bent so that forearms are approximately parallel to the ground. Occasionally shaking and relaxing the arms and shoulders will help reduce the tightness that sometimes develops while jogging. Periodically taking several deep breaths and blowing them out completely also will help you to relax.It is best to land on the heel of the foot and rock forward so that you drive off the ball of the foot for your next step. If this proves difficult, try a flat-footedstyle. Jogging only on the balls of the feet, as in sprinting, will produce severe leg soreness.Keep steps short, letting foot strike the ground beneath the knee instead of reaching to the front. Length of stride should vary with your rate of speed.Breathe deeply, with mouth open. Do not hold breath.If for any reason you become unusually tired or uncomfortable, slow down, walk, or stop.1. The underlined phrase “training effect” in paragraph 1 ______.A)rarely happens while participating in joggingB)is beneficial to the bodyC)occurs in professional athletes onlyD)can make us work with much efficiency2.If tightness develops in the arms and shoulders while jogging,you shall ______.A)slow down, walk, or stop at onceB)shake and relax arms and shouldersC)hold arms away from bodyD)bend elbows3.Which of the following is correct in jogging and sprinting?A)You shall use the same foot positions.B)You shall breathe deeply with mouth open.C)Jogging and sprinting can result in sore muscles.D)Jogging and sprinting should be done with different foot positions.4.A title for this article might be _______A)Jogging Why and HowB)Jogging: the Physiological EffectsC)Proper Arm and Head Positions while JoggingD)A Jogger’s Lament5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A)Jogging can strengthen the breathing muscles.B)Jogging can promote blood vessel flexibility.C)Jogging can help the athletes improve their performance.D)Jogging can keep peop le’s weight.Passage 2No one plan for a garden can suit all conditions. Careful planning will lessen the work of gardening and increase the returns from the labor. Planting seeds and plants at random results in waste and disappointment.The first consideration is whether the garden is to be in one unit or in two. With two plots, lettuce, spinach and other vegetables requiring little space are grown in a small kitchen garden. And potatoes, sweet corn, melons and other vegetables requiring more room are planted in a separate patch, as between young orchard-tree rows or in other areas where conditions are suitable for their culture.The cultivation methods to be employed are important in planning the garden. When the work is to be done mainly with a garden tractor, the site and the arrangement should be such as to give the longest practicable rows. On slopes of more than 1 percent, especially on light-textured (质地) soil, the rows should not cross the paths, and turning spaces of 10 to 12 feet should be provided at the ends.Any great variation in the composition of the soil within the garden should be taken into consideration when deciding on where to plant various crops. If the land is low and moist, such crops as onion, celery should be placed there. If it is high, warm and dry, that is the proper spot for early crops.Permanent crops, such as asparagus, should be planted where they will not interfere with the annual plowing of the garden and the cultivation of the annual crops. If a hotbed, a cold frame, or a special seedbed is provided, it should be either in one corner of, or outside, the garden.Tall-growing crops should be planted where they will not shade or interfere with the growth of small crops. There seems to be little choice as to whether the rows do or do not run in a general east-and-west or in general north-and-south direction, but they should conform to the contours(轮廓) of the land.6.The best title for this passage would be_______.A) Growing a Vegetable GardenB) Cultivating a GardenC) Problems in a GardenD) Using Home Grown Vegetables7.It is most important that rows ______A) run east and westB) run north and southC) slope 1 percentD) conform to land contours8.Vegetables requiring little space are ______A) spinach B) corns C)celery D) asparagus9.The author suggests that ______A)planting seed should be done randomlyB)paths should not cross the rowsC)all gardens be planted alikeD) hotbeds, cold frame or special seedbeds be provided10.Which of the following is not taken into consideration in planning a garden?A) Field position. B) Plant seeds. C) Cultivation methods. D) Soil composition. Passage 3Most people are familiar with the quotation from Shakespeare about the world being a stage and all the men are players. Today Shakespeare might change that a little the entire world is a street and all the people are merely joggers. Jogging has spread across the nation like a busy bee buzzing through a wildflower patch. Otherwise normal people are suddenly struck with the notion that his or her life depends on running oneself ragged. And ragged is what they become!It is not the purpose of this article to discuss the good and bad points of jogging. Far is it for us to invade that arena where many people more qualified than we disagreeand even contradict each other. Nor are we disturbed by the fact that joggers cause traffic jams by running in the street and endanger the lives of innocent motorists. No, our concern is with the jogger’s outfit.Now, tennis players really know how to dress. Women appear on tennis courts in cute little dresses. Men appear in tailored shorts and matching shoes and socks. But joggers! The jogger often comes forth in showy running shoes that match nothing and often only cause the feet to look larger than they really are. The jogger also dons a pair of shorts over a pair of sweat pants, which gives the appearance of a mannequin modeling underwear in a department store window. And the shirt, the crowning glory of the mismatched set, has only avoided the ragbag by pure chance. So, joggers, please dress attractively. Is that asking too much?11.The tone of this passage is ______A) educational B) angry C) humorous D) directive12. The underlined statement “endanger the lives of innocent motorists in paragraph2 is _______A) serious B) insulting C) puzzling D) exaggeration13.The main thing that upsets the author about joggers is theirA)? dressing in unattractive outfitsB)? wearing ragged shirtsC)? causing traffic jamsD)? endangering motorists14.The author would be happy if joggers at least ______A) ran quietly B) dressed like tennis players C) slept later D) ran in parks15.The underlined word “outfit” in paragraph 2 pro bably meansA) running shoes B) pants C) dresses and shirts D) all of the abovePassage 4It would be difficult to find someone who is in favor of drunk driving. Similarly no one would jump on the bandwagon urging more child abuse. Some activities are considered repulsive and totally unacceptable to almost everyone. Drunk driving,unlike child abuse, however, is a crime that many Americans not only commit more than once in their lives, but also freely discuss among their friends and fellow workers.If someone reads about a co-employee or neighbor being arrested for drunk driving, usually little is made of it; many even treat the occurrence in a humorous fashion. Hale and hardy fellows comfort the criminal with their own tales of close encounters with the law. So “better luck next time” is the casual warning of the drunk driver’s comrades. “Next time is so matter-of-factly that everyone knows that these drunk drivers do not realize that “next time” might end in a crippling accident, an innocent bystander’s dea th, enormous heartache, anguish, and ultimately remorse. But then it’s too late. By then the drunk driver will have done the worst, and all the merriment of the night’s imbibing fades quickly in the presence of grief at the scene of an accident.Of course, the comrades are shocked, even frightened momentarily. Couldn’t the perpetrator (犯罪者) of one of Americas’ controlled crimes just as easily have been one of them? Maybe someone s next time might be the “last time”.16.The biggest difference between drunk driving and child abuse is _______A)one is a serious crime, and the other one is notB)one crime is treated lightly by many, and the other is notC)one is tightly controlled, and the other is notD)one destroys the family unit, and the other does not17.The main idea of the passage is ______A)drunk driving is a serious crime treated casually by manyB)a drunk driver can be killed at any momentC)many Americans are drunk driversD)drunk driving is one of America’s least controlled crimes18. The underlined word “imbibing” refers to the night’s _______.A)driving B)speeding C)recklessness D)drinking19.Most of Americans attitude towards drunk driving is ______.A) critical B) matter—of—fact C) serious D) casual20.Which of the following is true?A)Drunk driving is strictly controlled in America.B)Americans concentrate on the drunk driving issue for a long time.C)Drunk driving may result in such accidents as death, heartache, anguish, etc.D)Americans do not think drunk driving is a crime.Part II: Use of English (10 points)21.Salesman: Would you like to renew your subscription to Overseas English?

An important way of reading a large, big-city newspaper is to put it into differentsections. Can you find these separate sections: world news, national and local news, sports, business, entertainment, opinions, ads? Does your newspaper have other sections?News stories give facts, not the reporters' opinions. Some newspaper editorials (社论) come out with the writer's name, but many newspapers only carry editorials without putting the writers' names on.You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper. For example, you can expect headlines (新闻标题) to leave out unnecessary words. You can expect to find the most important facts in the lead paragraph (the first paragraph) of a news story. You can expect important news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages.Most of all, the more you know about news of the present time, the more you will understand what is in the newspaper. Important stories are generally presented one day and followed up on following days. So, an important way to read newspapers is reading one frequently.6.Important news items are usually on the inside pages.A.TB.F答案：B7.A good way to read a newspaper is to find separate sections and read according to your needs.A.TB.F答案：A8.Newspaper headlines contain no unnecessary words.A.TB.F答案：A9.If you are reading for major facts in the news stories, you should read the headlines only.A.TB.F答案：B10.The writer suggests that we should read one newspaper frequently.A.TB.F答案：AWhat makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.11.What makes a scientist according to the passage? ________A.The tools he uses.B.The way he uses his tools.C.His ways of learning.D.The various tools he uses.答案：B12.The underlined part in the passage shows_______.A.the importance of informationB.the importance of thinkingC.the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD.the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs答案：C13.A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.A.works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB.does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC.can be used for many purposesD.leaves no room for improvement答案：A14.The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __________.A.that measurements are keys to success in scienceB.that accuracy of mathematicsC.that investigations are important in scienceD.that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations答案：C15.What is the main idea of the passage? ________A.The theory of relativity.B.Exactness is the core of science.C.Scientists are different from ordinary people.D.Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.答案：D三、词汇与语法16.It is believed that if a book is ________, it will surely ________ the reader.A.interested…interestB.interesting…be interestedC.interested…be interestingD.interesting…interest答案：D17.____ she survived the accident is miracle.A.WhatB.ThatC.AsD.Which答案：B18.It was well known that Thomas Edison _____ the electric lamp.A.discoveredB.inventedC.foundD.developed答案：B19.He _______ driving me home, even though I told him I lived nearby.A.insisted onB.insisted atC.insisted thatD.insisted in答案：A20.I fell and hurt myself while I ________ basketball yesterday.A.was playingB.am playingC.playD.played答案：A四、完型填空A FOX one day fell into a deep well and could find no way out.

Vegetables and fruit and plants too，and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper?Scientists say，"All food comes in some way from plants." Well，is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little sea-plants; then bigger fish swim along and eat the... Chickens eat bits of grass and give us... Think for a minute. What food does not come from plants in some way?Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It is very good food too. Now they have begun to say，"We make our paper from wood. We can also make food from wood. The next thing is not very difficult." What is the next thing? Perhaps it is－food from paper. Scientists say，"We can turn paper into food. It will be good，cheap food too;cheaper than meat or fish or eggs."So please keep your old books and letters.

Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people couldbe educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.(1)、What's the meaning of the underlined word 'parchment'? ________A：The skin of young animals.B：A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.C：The paper used by European countries.D：The paper of Egypt.答案：B(2)、Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the invention of paper? ________A：More jobs could be provided than before.B：More people could be educated than before.C：More books could be printed and distributed.D：More ways could be used to exchange knowledge.答案：A(3)、When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely? ________A：Around 1400.B：Around 1900.C：Around 400.D：Around 900.答案：A(4)、Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year? ________ A：China.B：Sweden.C：Egypt.D：Japan.答案：B(5)、What is the main idea of this short talk? ________A：More and more paper is being consumed nowadays.B：Paper enables people to receive education more easily.C：The invention of paper is of great significance to man.D：Paper contributes a lot to the keeping of historical records.答案：C三、词汇与语法1、If you ________your work, you can go there first.A：will finishB：finishedC：finishingD：have finished答案：D2、-----Nice to see you.

No other animal has a complex symbolic language that must be learned. Animal language is largely instinctive,while basic human language is learned speech, composed 1 sounds that symbolize things, ideas, actions, and the like.We learn to read, often with considerable effort, by noticingor being taught that groups of letters stand for the sounds that we already know 2 to speak. We learn to write, with even greater effort, by learning to form the letters, 3 are symbols of sounds, and to put them together on paper so that others can read what we "say".Since human language is a form of human behavior,there is nothing absolute about it. It has 4 lowly throughout human history and will continue to develop. In the English language there are perhaps 600,000 5 , Possibly more, but most of them are know only to specialists and are rarely used.(1)、A：howB：whichC：developedD：ofE：sounds答案：D(2)、A：howB：whichC：developedD：of答案：A(3)、A：howB：whichC：developedD：ofE：sounds答案：B(4)、A：howB：whichC：developedD：ofE：sounds答案：C(5)、A：howB：whichC：developedD：ofE：sounds答案： E全套完整新版题库，全中文翻译，群内考前突击，提供简化版，提供作文辅助输入工具，全程免费答疑。

Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know ho w spell, so what he really wrote was “olkorekt”. After a while, he shortened that ter m to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren’s friends organized a club to help him bec ome President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.11. The author_______________.A. believes both of the storiesB. doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC. is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun12. According to the passage, President Jackson________________.A. co uldn’t draw up any documents at allB. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC. often had his assistants sign documents for himD. wasn’t good at reading or spelling13. According to the first story, the term “OK”________________.A. was approved of by President JacksonB. was the title of some official documentsC. was first used by President JacksonD. was an old way to spell “all correct”14. According to the second story, the term “OK”______________.A. was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club”B. meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC. was the name of Van Buren’s clubD. was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the election15. According to the second story, the term “OK” was first used____________.A. by Van BurenB. in a presidential electionC. to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD. by the members of the “Old Kinderhook Club”Passage 2Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very likeother small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas (large cities with their suburbs) of more than a million people each —a larger proportion than in Germany or England, let alone France. The statistics (统计) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.16. If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged inagriculture and forestry ____________A. About 25 million.B. More than 25 million.C. Less than 25 million.D. Less than 225 million.17. Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of peopleliving in metropolitan areas _____________A. United States.B. Germany.C. France.D. England.18. What’s the meaning of the word “metropolitan” in the middle of thepassage _________A. Of a large city with its suburbs.B. Of small and large towns.C. Of urban areas.D. Of rural areas.19. According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the UnitedStates _________A. Most small towns become gradually crowded.B. Small towns are still similar to each other.C. As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.D. Small towns are turning into large cities.20. Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb __________A. Because they are the same.B. Because the rush takes place too quickly.C. Because the process is gradual.D. Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.Passage 3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had writtenin it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, thy may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call’ remembered history’. Some of it has mow been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage ______A. “Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learningof the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answermany questions.D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.22. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _______ .A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write23. “Remembered history” refers to ___________ .A. history based on a person’s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and dances about the most important eventsD. both B and C24. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when __________ .A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be trueD. people are interested in it25. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our pastthan we do now if the ancient people had ___________ .A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsE.made more songs and dancesPassage 4‘Mum, can we go to McDonald’s, please?’ Some people might ask, ‘Where would we be today if we did not have fast food?’ and ‘Where would parents take the ir children out to eat?’It has been reported that approximately 30% of meals consumed by families in the USA are eaten at one of the big chains like Burger King and Taco Bell, though probably none is more famous than McDonald’s. The distinctive ‘golden arch’ can now be seen in most major cities in the world. In 2002, McDonald’s had approximately 25,000 restaurants in over 120 countries and served 29 million people a day.Apparently, the secret of their success is a marketing strategy of ‘think global, ac t local’.McDonald’s learnt that if they adapted their ‘Mac’ meals to different cultures, it was more successful than having a standardised set of products that taste the same everywhere. So now, around 80% of McDonald’s restaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a ‘local’ flavour. For example, in Hong Kong, food called ‘Shake Shake Fries’ and ‘Red Bean Sunday’ can be found on the menu, while in Switzerland, ‘Vegi Macs’ are served.However, fast food is not popular with everyone. It is often called ‘junk’ food because it is said to be unhealthy and full of fat. Furthermore, many people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of waste, while millions of people in developing countries go hungry. At the same time, more and more people no longer cook fresh food at home. ‘Convenience’ food is just too convenient! It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local branch of Marks and Spencer, or some other supermarket chain, to buy ready-made meals on their w ay home from work. It is even easier to buy a ‘take-away’ from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza to be delivered to your home.26.

For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious, “Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity (长寿) of those interviewed.This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators (电梯) , and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking.On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.11. The Vienna survey may help to explain __________ .A. the complaints of people in apartment housesB. the cause of Mrs. Groeger’s deathC. the longevity of people like Mrs. GroegerD. the image of cities in general12. The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some __________ .A. benefits of walkingB. occasions for walking in city lifeC. comments made by city peopleD. problems of city living13. To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful ___________ .A. to take the elevatorB. to walk up the stairsC. to ride in a carD. to find an alternative to walking14. People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because__________ .A. they don’t live near business areasB. they don’t need the exerciseC. they never have parking problemsD. they can’t afford to take the bus15. A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that __________ .A. air pollution is not seriousB. anyone can live to be 107C. country people should move to the cityD. walking is a healthful exercisePassage 2For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist (剧作家). Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English –speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well –known proverbs and quotations.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writher, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty – five thousand.There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort ( it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.16. English people __________ .A. have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatistB. never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatistC. are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist17. Every Englishman knows __________ .A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of the greatest English writer18. Which of the following is true?A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who arelearning to speak English..C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins ofthe words they use.D. All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.19. What does the word “proverb” mean?A. Familiar sayings.B. Shakespeare’s plays.C. Complaints.D. Actors and actresses.20. Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s time.B. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s time.D. Beginners may heave difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.Passage 3Threes are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man bas not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieced, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.21. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important ofwhich is that they can __________ .A. Keep him from the hot sunshineB. enable him to build warshipsC. make him draw quick profit from themD. protect him from droughts and floods22. It’s a great pity that __________ .A. man is only interested in building empiresB. man is eager to profit from treesC. man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to himD. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees23. Sooner or later the forests will disappear __________ .A. unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB. unless people stop cutting down their treesC. unless all people are taught the importance of planting treesD. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead ofplanting them24. The word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means “__________”.A. to wash awayB. to make wetC. to make stay togetherD. to improve25. When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as theycan __________ .A. keep rain from falling down to soft groundB. cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink inC. prevent the soil from being washed awayD. make the topsoil stick togetherPassage 4Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles （困扰）old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later,。

Passage 1Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is the choice – from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle—is all part of fun.在英国，可住宿的地方就如可参观的地方那么多。
不论你的预算是多少，任何一种选择都是快乐的一部分――从谷仓到小旅馆，从小农舍到大城堡。
Hotel 旅社Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable--almost like bargain hotels.廉价、超值的旅社定位在形形色色的趣味相投的重精神超过物质的这类游客群体，而且旅社没有规定游客必须是年轻人或者是单身汉。
英国对自助旅行者和背包旅行者也十分欢迎。
设施和价格也各不相同，特别是在乡村，有些旅社只比临时住房好一点点，而有些特别舒适――就像可以讨价还价一样。
Youth Hotels 青年旅社Founded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside”, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.（这种旅社的形式）很多年前就形成了，为了“帮助所有的，特别是资金有限的年轻人，深入了解，喜爱，关心农村。
”青年旅行社组织在２１世纪依然盛行。
230家的旅社网络是探索英国小镇和农村的最佳门户。
B & Bs 床位和早餐The B & B (bed and breakfast) is a great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B & Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larger B & Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.床位与早餐是英国的伟大创举。
实际上就是某家的住户为你提供一个房间，小的B& Bs 只有一间客房，所以你会觉得自己是这户人家的一份子。
大一些的B& Bs可能有４，５个房间和更多是设施，但一样的热情款待。
In country areas your B & B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around ￡12 to ￡20 per person. City B & Bs charge about ￡25 to ￡30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.在农村，B & B可能在一个村庄或者四周都是田地的独立的农场里。
价格反映了房间的设施：通常每人在１２到20英镑左右。
城市的B & Bs价格在每人２５到３０英镑左右，尽管越到郊区价格越便宜。
Pubs & Inns 酒吧和客栈As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B & B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.除了买酒和饭菜外，英国的酒吧和客栈有时也提供床位和早餐，特别在农村地区。
在那里住一两个晚上会十分有趣，并且可以让你处在当地小区的中心。
Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms. (332 words)价格在每人１５到２５英镑左右。
酒吧更有可能拥有独立房间。
